What is Simple Surface?
Simple Surface is a free, open source digital painting and drawing application for Windows. It offers a streamlined set of tools for basic illustration, sketching, and painting needs.
With Simple Surface, users can create original artwork or doodles using tools like pencils, markers, eraser, shapes, text, and fill bucket. It has an intuitive and easy-to-use interface focused specifically on core drawing functionality rather than advanced features.
Some key features of Simple Surface include:
- Minimalistic UI for quick access to essential freehand drawing tools
- Supports various canvas sizes, customizable tool sizes, and layers
- Ability to export images as JPG, PNG, GIF
- Completely free and open source under GPLv3 license
- Small install size and low hardware requirements
Because it lacks more complex capabilities of professional graphic design software, Simple Surface is best suited for hobbyists, students, kids and casual users looking for a basic program for doodling and sketching rather than robust illustration or photo manipulation capabilities.
